Country updates
The operation of intercountry adoption programs with specific countries and the placement needs of children in particular countries can change from time to time with little notice.
Our Adoption Services Queensland Unit advises prospective adoptive parents about significant changes and developments in programs. Prospective adoptive parents whose files have been forwarded to a country prior to changes in the program will be contacted by the unit with information about how the changes may affect them.
Country information on adoption programs is updated as new information becomes available. You may wish to bookmark the country pages of interest for future reference or subscribe to our intercountry adoption country updates RSS feed.
